Holy, happy separation

Holy

happy separation!

They alone are truly blest

Who from all besides retiring

And Himself alone desiring

Find in Jesus only rest

Find in Jesus only rest.

Jesus calls to separation

And Himself hath led the way;

His own life the explanation

His own life the illustration

Who is ready to obey?

Who is ready to obey?

Blessed Jesus

make us willing

Thus without the camp to go

Unto Thee in glad subjection

Unto Thee in Thy rejection

Unto Thee from all below

Unto Thee from all below!

Separate from all that grieves Thee

Separate from sinners too;

Yet

like Thee

for sinners caring

And

like Thee

with sinners bearing

Asking

“What would Jesus do?”

Asking

“What would Jesus do?”

Unto Thee! Beloved Master

Nearer

nearer let us be

Unto Thee in consecration

Unto Thee in separation

Ever

only

unto Thee

Ever

only

unto Thee!
